Résumé:
Réconcilier le tourisme et la nature n'est pas une simple vue de l'esprit. En quinze ans à la tête des Parcs nationaux du Québec, le biologiste Raymond Desjardins a montré qu'on pouvait à la fois développer les infrastructures touristiques et protéger, voire embellir, les somptueux espaces qui composent le patrimoine naturel québécois. Au fil de ce passionnant entretien, Desjardins revient sur une riche carrière au service des paysages qui ont bercé son enfance. Il nous livre aussi les secrets de ce qui a fait le succès de sa méthode : la concertation, partout et avec tous. Enfin, il pose les principes d'un possible tourisme de masse pour l'avenir, plus authentique et respectueux des populations locales.

Résumé:
Imagine a power plant that is also the perfect place to have a picnic. On the foreshore of St. Kilda, Australia rises just such a structure—one that merges renewable energy production with leisure, recreation, and education. This volume imagines a world where the infrastructures that power our cities are designed to be reflections of culture, where public parks provide clean electricity to the city grid, and where the art that brings depth and vibrancy to our lives also measurably responds to the challenges of climate change. ''Energy Overlays'' provides a glimpse into a post-carbon future where energy infrastructure is seamlessly woven into the fabric of our cities as works of public art.

Résumé:
The Netherlands has been and continues to be a testing ground where the future of labor is reimagined. Published in conjunction with the Dutch Pavilion at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, ''Work, Body, Leisure'' analyzes spatial arrangements and protocols molded for the interaction between humans and machines; spaces that challenge traditional distinctions between work and leisure; the ways in which evolving notions of labor have categorized and defined bodies at particular moments in time; and the legal, cultural, and technical infrastructures that enable their exploitation, with the aim of fostering new forms of creativity and responsibility within the architectural field in response to emerging technologies of automation.

Résumé:
In this book, Nina Lager Vestberg artfully details the range of research skills, reproduction machinery, and communication infrastructures that was needed to make pictures available to a public before digitization. Drawing on documents and representations across a range of cultural expressions, ''Picture research'' reveals the intermediation that has been performed by skilled workers in a variety of roles, making use of pre-photographic, photographic, and digital machineries of capture, accumulation, extraction, and transmission. Tracing a history of the modern pictorial economy from the pre-photographic 1830s to the post-digitized 2010s, it makes visible and explicit the invisible labor that has built—and still sustains—the visual commodity culture of everyday life.

Résumé:
Inaugurée en 2017, ''Bleu de bleu'' est une oeuvre monumentale conçue par Alain Paiement et installée sur un parcours de 6,7 kilomètres en bordure de l'autoroute 20, de l'aéroport international Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau de Montréal jusqu'aux abords du centre-ville. Son acquisition dans la collection du Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal - non pas sous sa forme originale comprenant murs et piliers de béton peints, fûts lumineux et plaques réfléchissantes - s'est avérée possible grâce à une migration raisonnée de données sollicitant la photographie et le numérique. Comment un musée peut-il acquérir une telle oeuvre intégrée aux infrastructures publiques ? À mi-chemin entre livre savant et catalogue d'exposition, cet ouvrage rend compte de pratiques artistiques et muséologiques actuelles.

''Who owns the land?'' is a central question because space is a resource as vital as air and water. Today, however, data ownership has become just as relevant as the question of land ownership in the context of urban planning.

Résumé:
''Who owns the land?'' is a central question because space is a resource as vital as air and water. Today, however, data ownership has become just as relevant as the question of land ownership in the context of urban planning. Technology companies are entering the field of architecture with algorithm-driven planning methods and massive investments in infrastructures and smart cities. In their technocratic vision, citizens become users, architecture becomes an instrument of statistics, and concepts such as the city and society become mere algorithmic assemblages. This issue, co-edited by ARCH+, Arno Brandlhuber, and Olaf Grawert of station+/ETH Zurich, discusses the politics of space and data; the real and virtual assets of the city of the future.

Résumé:
This publication looks at agricultural practices and the appropriation of space in the city of Porto, Portugal, and the different ways in which this phenomenon has manifested in the aftermath of the financial crisis 2011. The book recounts the stories of ten gardens and the people running them, who have resuscitated urban brownfield sites by growing fruit and vegetables on them as a source of food. To achieve this end, they have developed infrastructures like watering and irrigation systems and methods of cultivation, recycling, and composting, while also building storage structures and producing their own tools. Although the gardens are primarily about people providing for themselves, they also lend themselves to recreation and leisure activities.

Résumé:
For several years, architect Zhang Ke has been exploring alternative perspectives on the hutongs, considering them as living organisms and studying them both in micro scale units and as macro scale infrastructures. His goal is to show how traditional courtyard properties can be adapted for the 21st century to fulfill their potential as generators of community spaces and catalysts of social interaction. The result is a series of architectural interventions that breathe new life into these historic residential neighbourhoods while preserving the significant monument value of these unique cultural artifacts. With the exhibition and catalogue "YING-ZAO: Hutong Metabolism+", Chinese architect Zhang Ke and his firm ZAO/standardarchitecture present a series of realised projects related to this topic.
